Don't miss this show if you are around! On August 6th, Culver City's Corey Helford Gallery will open double solo exhibitions by New York painter David Stoupakis and UK digital artist Tom Bagshaw. Stoupakis will prsent seven new oil-on-panel paintings, and Bagshaw will have new works inspired by stories, myths and legends from around the globe.
Returning to the gallery for his third solo exhibition entitled “Walking Within These Shadows”, Stoupakis reveals a more personal side to his work — exploring life, death and the unknown. Stoupakis is internationally recognized for his clever narratives and haunting imagery that portray the darker side of childhood innocence and fairytales. However, his new body of work adopts a more serious tone, departing from the playful themes he is known for. For the show, Stoupakis spent the past year reflecting on his life experiences, infusing his work with a darker color palette as well as more mature themes. Of the seven new oil-on-panel paintings showcased in the exhibition, Stoupakis notes “Peddlers of Death” as the highlight, describing the painting as “the boundary between Earth and the unknown.”
